TORONTO - It's hard to imagine a more unlikely candidate stealing the theatrics from Alex Ovechkin (http://tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/?name=alex+ovechkin).
After sitting at the end of the Toronto Maple Leafs bench for more than 59 minutes on Tuesday, backup goalie Curtis Joseph (http://tsn.ca/nhl/teams/players/?name=curtis+joseph) came in cold and shut down the NHL's brightest star.

good old cujo.....the old man still has it:)

didn't Ovechkin still have a goal and an assist in the game?

You gotta like being a hero in a game that youve played one minute....

lol ya. However if you have ever played goalie like me, you know how hard it is to come into a game cold. He did it with 58 seconds left in a tied game. He shut the door on 6 good scoring chances in OT, Then shut them down in the shoot out.

Bring in the CLOSER!

Cujo is da man!!!

That game was great.

Well he better enjoy his last hurrah's. As he doesn't have much time left as his clock is ticking (Old Man Winter).
